Quote: jonh "I’m expecting unless Wigan sign at least 1 more Prop that Kilner will be a big part of their plans.
With both Burgess and Clubb still at the club and their injury issues I don’t think they would dare let him leave as they are already pretty light on Props of you factor in those 2 lads and their lack of availability.
I didn’t know Kilner was a Wakefield lad. Interesting to see he is a Normy lad but played his junior rugby as Oulton which is a bit odd, maybe wanted to get on Leeds’ radar.
Either way from what I have seen of him he has a massive future in the game, and whilst he may be available on the odd 2 week loan here and there through the season I’m not sure that does us any good.
If we don’t manage to secure a permanent signing I’d prefer us to hold out nerve and wait for someone to have a fallout midseason or keep a close eye on the lower leagues for a lad performing well and in their more senior years.
If we can’t get the man himself a Battye type signing mid season could be a very shrewd bit of business.'"
There seems to be a shortage of props throughout the league when you look down the squads, without knowing the details in full it seems baffling to me that we didn't push to keep hold of Koppy or Navarette.
Are you a Wakefield fans Jonh? What`s the affiliation with Wigan, interested to know
